Abstract:3D-printed porous implants have been attracting increased attention. Although pore size is thought to be an important factor affecting the biocompatibility of implants, there is still no accurate conclusion about the optimal pore size of implants. In searching the relevant literature, it was found, that the pore size of implants is not clearly defined in many studies. Additionally, the definition methods are different in a few studies, that have clearly defined the apertures. In the current review, the definit… Show more
